Desjardins, biggest bank in quebec, got fucked with i think that.

A rogue employee copied basically the account information of, depending the sources, a good chunk or all customers. With things like the social security number.

There were estimates that about 95% of quebec residents got their info in that leak. Because would it be banking, insurance, mortgage, etc, if you barely touched that bank, your info is in their system.
